Triangles
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the bottom-left corner, go up to the point on the top line, down to the bottom-right corner, then back along the bottom line to the start.
- Trace the dashed triangle once in the same order.
- Start each new triangle at the bottom-right corner of the one before, so the triangles touch at the bottom and fill the row.
What this worksheet teaches
Each triangle is two slanting lines and one flat base, the strokes of A, V and the pointed parts of W and M. The hardest part is putting the point exactly halfway between the two bottom corners; if it drifts, the triangle leans. Drawing a dozen of them from a model asks your child to keep the width, the height and the lean the same from the first triangle to the last, which is a good measure of how well the eye guides the hand at this age.

Mountain range: turn one row into snowy mountains by adding white caps to the points and a sun above them, and another row into a row of pine trees with short trunks.
